jpg or jpeg images added to winui3 projects do not get the content build action by default.
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug
The jpg format images are not showing when using Image control or when using them as background brushes. This is a critical bug and should be fixed at the earliest. It is a very basic thing which devs would expect to work.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Create a new WinUI 3 in Desktop app.
- Add below xaml inside Stackpanel in MainWindow.xaml
<Image Source="/Assets/treetops.jpg" Height="100" /> - Add treetops.jpg image (from xaml controls gallery sample app) in assets folder.
- Run the app.
Expected behavior
jpg images should be visible correctly.

There is no bug You must add pictures to the project, or they won’t be compiled WinUI 3 is in good shape…
I wasted several hours trying to understand why
<SvgImageSource/>doesn’t work. No matter what I did, my SVG image would not show up. Turned out it was because of this bug. This is a significant deviation from past behavior and should eventually be fixed. Setting BuildAction=Content fixed my issue instantly.
